Revd Hazel O’Sullivan

Aide/Chaplain to the Rector

Hazel serves in the parish with Bishop’s Permission to Officiate. You’ll meet Hazel when she leads worship, usually on a third Sunday at St.Mary’s, but also you’ll find her working as a personal aide/chaplain in support of Andy, the Rector. In her ministry Hazel therefore helpfully attends to the Rector’s emails and correspondence along with other practical ministry tasks.

Delighted to be our families minister Jo says:“My passion in serving God is to see HIS people (the church) finding ways to actively engage with families.
